The Master of Arts in History at Simon Fraser University's Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences is a flexible program offering both a thesis-based and a course-based track. Students select a major field (Americas, Asia, Canada, Europe, or Middle East) for focused study, and the curriculum emphasizes advanced historical research methods, critical analysis, and academic writing. The thesis track requires the completion and defense of a thesis (15,000–21,000 words), while the course-based stream culminates in a comprehensive field exam or project. The program prepares graduates for doctoral study, professional research, teaching, or roles in government, museums, archives, and NGOs. 来源： https://www.sfu.ca/students/calendar/2025/fall/programs/history/master-of-arts.html
